The madness never ends...
well, here about 8 months ago, i picked up my first Vette, an 04 base Coupe... Love it, cant deny that. But here i go again... got the itch, been looking for a c6, and then i found this one, and I've already been approved... kinda excited...
Its a 2003 Z06, 100% stock (with the exception of the shift ****)
105k miles on it (kinda high, I know). asking $16,800 for it.
I should have it sitting next to the 04 here in about 2 weeks.

One, the price is right, two, the price is right, three, it's a 'Z'. Don't even trip about the miles on it. Make sure you are diligent in checking out the typical C5 gremlin issues, check the DIC for codes and if it drives good, feels good, ENJOY IT !!

Already getting prepared to order another LMC5 module for the steering column lock issue as a precaution. my 04 coupe had the recall procedure completed, but the mechanism itself has been acting up lately, so i just ordered it for the 04.
Should be a ton of fun.

Goodluck with the car and nice find! Hope all goes well with your test drive. That is a good price, maybe a tad high for the mileage but for the overall condition of the car I'm sure its worth it. Pull codes, check the maintenance history, just do a good inspection and go from there. and yes I love black as well, pain in the *** to keep clean but some good ol Zaino will keep the paint looking good!!

well, I decided that in light of recent events at work, I'm better off holding on to my cash for the time being, its not that i cant afford the payment and insurance, but I realized that it is potentially going to put me in a spot I don't want to be in.

It's important to be comfortable with your debt level. That's the second Z car I've seen at that price in a couple months. There will be others if you decide to go for a it later.

IT was probably not meant to be... "Impulse" buy's typically aren't ... Ask me how I know. 
Anyway, enjoy the coupe.... As the others have said... there will be more opportunity's..
